Teased: The Next-Generation Lexus LX 600 Flagship

Posted by Kevin on October 8th, 2021

No more renders, no more guessing, the next-generation Lexus LX is finally here. Lexus UAE shared this image with us earlier today, and it confirms so much of the speculation.

First off, the flagship SUV is now sporting a LX 600 badge — no great surprise there given the multiple trademark discoveries. It will also adopt the light-bar and new L E X U S branding across the rear.

It’s our first glimpse at the actual production model, what do you think?

I'll miss the emblem. Letter badging looks cheap in my opinion.

I do like it so far.

I don't mind the letter badging, but it looks wrong to me in that font. If it was the classic Lexus font I think it'd work better.

RIP to the split tailgate

But the design has looked pretty good, from what we've seen so far. Can anyone hint as to when Lexus will make a performance based SUV?

You asked for it: is actually more of a truck than a car, isn't it?
In Europe we are not waiting for this, fortunately.
And an 'h' or an 'e' version would probably be ridiculous, wouldn't it?
Sorry, but I'll skip this one.

Lexus Japan really loves a bland, multi-spoke wheel on a flagship car - and somehow, they always get their way despite the regions asking for something nicer. At least that's easy to fix.

600 without an h? Did they just rebrand 500 V6 twin turbo to 600 or this one is getting bumped up spec version?

It looks to me that LX will almost look identical to Toyota LC. Not good.
LX was supposed to be on par with Bentley. I hope so, but will see.

I hope I will have a good reason to upgrade from my '13 LX.

Already looks better than that render that was posted here recently

Take a look again at the Mag-X render again, and you will see some similarity in between. Their rendering on the 5th LS was pretty on point if I recall.View attachment 5120

sigh, I don't think we will ever get even get a medium performance suv out of them yet alone a true ///M or AMG competitor. I guess we could always hold our breath for the RZ

No you shouldn't. You know their obsession with reliability means they will heavily limit battery C-rate and thus max discharge power.

Imho MagX missed the mark on this one. Either way, the LX doesnt seem to be steering away from the tried and tested formula toyota has followed in the past, which in fairness GM, Ford, Nissan (and even Mercedes and their maybach brand) all use today.

The 4 seater is probably going to be what will showcase the capability, engineering and design prowess, and material advances that Lexus can achieve when budget constraints are removed.

In the North American markets I assume the pricing is set to start above 100k. The only wild card that is TBD is a unicorn v8 tt.

Remember the leaked NX promo? It still has the traditional logo on it. The Lexus lettering is clearly a last minute decision.
